My question to all your rotorheads is: What do you guys think of the Rolls Royce 250 series Turbo-shafts? I know they come in a wide range of aircraft. I'm sure many of you have a great deal of experience with them, as well as the other common powerplants used in rotorcraft. I only have exposure to the 250 series (I work at an overhaul facility) and I think highly of these engines. However, they are becoming a very old design and I'm surious as to everyones experience with them. Recently Robinson has announced that the 250 has been chosen to power the new r66 so maybe they're not as out dated as I think?
Comments and input appreciated.
